Details about The Rhythm of Rage:

This book is compiled from historical documents provided by the Beser Foundation including items contained in the personal archives of the late Jacob Beser.Beser participated in the atomic bomb development and was the only man to fly as a crewmember on both the Enola Gay and Bock's Car.

Having witnessed the dawning of the atomic age and recognizing the potential for global destruction, he made it his mission to ensure that the current and future generations understand the true facts about the missions and the consequences of a global atomic war.

Beser undertook writing his book in 1990 but was unable to complete it due to his untimely death in 1992.In 2004, after discovering this vast archive of unpublished information, Jerome took up the challenge to complete his father's ambitious task. Again illness interfered and Jerome was unable to complete the book alone.

In early 2006 Jack Spangler offered to help finish the project.

In this book, the elder Beser invites the reader into his life and gives his unique perspective of the events of August 6 and 9, 1945 when Japan was brought to its knees ending the bloodiest war in the history of the world. While concentrating on the untold events of the Nagasaki mission he presents a well-balanced discussion of what lead up to the war with Japan; some history of the war in the Pacific; why the bombs were necessary; and, clarifies some myths that have existed since 1945. But, more importantly, he argues that the public needs to recognize the true motivations and circumstances that led up to the deployment of the first atomic weapons. Without a society that understands the danger of allowing history to fade into the past, the possibility of history repeating itself becomes a real danger to current and future generations.
